Developing services for people with dementia

Developing services for people with dementia Health and social care agencies located in rural areas face particular challenges if they are to be able to effectively support people with dementia within their communities. Ann McDonald and Becky Heath describe a piece of work carried out in three rural counties in East Anglia that mapped services across the statutory, voluntary and private sectors and explored how national policy was being interpreted to meet local need. The findings confirm that services for older people with dementia are under‐developed compared to those for older people generally, but reveal that there is the potential to develop community‐based and inclusive services for people who have dementia. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Working with Older People Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Health and social care agencies located in rural areas face particular challenges if they are to be able to effectively support people with dementia within their communities. Ann McDonald and Becky Heath describe a piece of work carried out in three rural counties in East Anglia that mapped services across the statutory, voluntary and private sectors and explored how national policy was being interpreted to meet local need. The findings confirm that services for older people with dementia are under‐developed compared to those for older people generally, but reveal that there is the potential to develop community‐based and inclusive services for people who have dementia.
